The smallest bones in the body are the three auditory ossicles located in the middle ear. Thier purpose is to amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.

  • tympanic side = malleus or hammer
  • middle = incus or anvil
  • oval window side = stapes or stirrup
